The Rest of the Day
I finished the spinning of the Golden Embers merino/kid mohair top late yesterday, and Navajo-plied the first bobbin-full this morning. I’m kind of putting off plying the other one; I’ve had this around for so long I think I’ll actually miss it when the last plying is done!
Instead, I started spinning up some of the black Borderdale I found a few days ago. I’m thinking about three-plying two of the gray with one black singles, though I won’t be able to be sure until I actually try it and see how it looks. I think it’ll come out effectively a heathery dark gray, hopefully enough for a nice tunic-style sweater and matching hat.
When we got back from the open house, I took advantage of the still-cooler-than-usual temps to clear junk out of the chest freezer in the ex-chicken house we use as a garage. I didn’t defrost it — not needed — but I did get rid of a lot of stuff I’d realized wouldn’t get used, mostly green tomatoes and cantaloupe.
One of these years, I have got to figure something to do with green tomatoes that we’ll actually use, and some way to preserve cantaloupe other than drying or freezing … I dearly love cantaloupe, but so far, my attempts at preserving what I can’t eat just make it unappetizing. (Yes, even with just one plant, I can’t keep up!)
That looks like about all for the moment, so I’ll see y’all tomorrow.
